Well, there’s the decorating done. Super fancy and festive this year with, not one, but TWO Christmas trees!! If you know me, you know I’m not super festive, and I don’t enjoy decorating. It’s not in my skill set or energy allotment. 😂
So a BIG THANK YOU to family and friends who help bring some festivity into my life during the season that I find challenging and am always glad to get to the other side of.
I’ll never forget receiving my Charlie Brown Christmas tree from my friends, Jeanie Taylor and Kathleen Ely a few years ago. It was perfect for the time and still is
This year, Jason Sowell and Stacy Wilson decided to give me an upgrade and brought me a little live pine tree and decorations to boot. It smells so good and both trees bring some seasonal joy without overloading and overtaxing my time, space, or emotions.
I am blessed to always be filled with the joy of the Lord, for which I am so grateful. And at the same time, the holiday season is a hard one for me.
If you are also one who struggles during this season, you are in my heart and prayers!
🙏🏼🎄🙏🏼💜🙏🏼🎄🙏🏼
Side note: that’s a pot of beef suet on the stove that I’m rendering for tallow. That brings me joy! 😂
